Gents,

There seems to be room for everyone, even in 3kHz, given that beacons 
(both QRSS and CW) can all sit quite happily crowded together, leaving 
room for QSOs in the rest of the band. 

Perhaps a gentlemanly bandplan can be agreed upon? Given that we have 
the SM and DL beacons at 505+ how about concentrating our beacons up in 
the top 500Hz or so? That way the bottom half of the band would be 
empty enough for QSOs with wide RX filters and the beacons could all be 
seen at once on an Argo screen?

There must be room for the various "experiments" that we're all supposed 
to be doing - some of which quite rightly involve long-period beaconing 
as a tool for propagation studies that random QSOs would struggle to 
provide enough data for.

Just my thoughts, as a remote station I like the fact that there is 
always something potentially to receive, even though for 99% of the time 
I see nothing.

Regards,

John GM4SLV
